Mellowing?

So, the jeweler called Bill today to say that our engravings were messed up. Apparently they did it in all capital block letters when it was just supposed to be a capital at the beginning, followed by cursive letters. Or something like that.

The old me would be upset. But I typed it out in caps on my computer and it looked okay, so whatever. I'm going tomorrow to make the decision after I've seen them.

I remember a time where I'd get stressed out and upset, but this whole wedding planning thing has given me a new outlook. I think my second wedding motto (after "One stop shop!") is going to be "Just make it look nice." Seriously, I mean, I don't care what the cake looks like as long as it doesn't look like someone sat on it. It should look like a wedding cake. "What's that? You make wedding cakes? Good. Make me one. Just make it look nice." (Okay, maybe I'll freak out if it's chocolate cake when we ordered vanilla, but at the same time, so what if I don't like the cake? Most people do like chocolate cake :-p)

Also, do I care what color the cloth napkins are? No. I trust people to make it look nice. They know my colors are green and pink, so obviously a white, green or pink napkin would be just great. Don't bother me with the details, just do it nicely. Thanks, good job.

Maybe my mind is whacked out right now. I just spent three hours looking at government documents and my brain hurts. Don't mind my musings.

The game of life

So, I was driving along today, heading to pick up a pizza for my family, when suddenly I had a strange thought: I am just starting the game of life. Let me explain.

In the game of life, you start out in a car by yourself and you can either go to college or you don't. Then you get married, and perhaps have kids or other wonderful accomplishments as you travel along the game board. My life is right at the start space now. I am about to graduate from college (Yes, I graduated already, but now I get a masters...I don't think the game of life has a masters, but I digress) and Bill is about to "get into my car" or rather, marry me.

So, does this mean that everything I've done up until this point in my life wasn't worthy? I mean, it isn't in the game of life. You start life out with a car, so you must be about 16. So, 0-16 doesn't count? How unfair. There should be a children's version of this game. Maybe there is.

Just a reflection. No wedding news. Actually, our personalized napkins are being FedExed. My mom wanted us to have personalized napkins. We will on Thursday :-p

Invitations

Invitations ordered. It took three and a half hours of fighting with the website and entering in all the information four times. It was like having a dial up connection to the internet again. At least they're ordered. Hopefully they arrive before June.

But I was supposed to have also written a paper. Good thing it isn't due tomorrow.

Wedding bands!

We went to the mall today to purchase several things as part of a routine shopping trip including a buy one get one free pretzel, a greeting card, a computer game, and dinner. We also looked at several other things including a Sabres jersey/sweater, possible rehearsal dinner dresses, a meat thermometer, and for the whereabouts of Waldenbooks (they closed and did not reopen)

Lastly, we also went to Gordon's, the jeweler in the food court that we got my engagement ring at, and bought our wedding bands :) They have to be sized down, but then we will have them all set for our approaching big day!

So, check that off the list! Tomorrow we're hopefully (knock on wood) working on our invitation wording and placing the order for those! :)

Honeymoon planned...

So we, or rather I, finally got around to making the reservations for the Honeymoon. We are going to Burlington,VT. Neither of us have ever been there before so it should be interesting and it will be "our place". There are several interesting things up that way (besides cows) like Ben&Jerry's factory, the Vermont Teddy Bare Co, assorted wineries breweries, and apple cider places. The Cabot Creamery is also there (cows). The city is located on Lake Champlain so there are several water activities plus a ferry to Saratoga Springs. The hotel that we are staying in is all suites all of which have full kitchens and some of which have fireplaces and Jacuzzi tubs. We got one of the ones that had both. Since we are also there for a week they gave us a lower rate which saves us a bit of money that now can go towards other things, like a Wii. The hotel also has a daily hot breakfast and serves a free dinner and wine/beer thing on weekday nights. That should save us the need to go out for dinner.
It will be a fun trip, we are both looking forward to it.

Tuxedo Shopping

The tuxedo decisions have been made.

I felt slightly bad because I made some of the decisions when they really should be Bill's. But he didn't seem to mind, and I don't like white vests. Or gold cuff links.

I learned that the only thing that makes it a tuxedo is satin lapels. Otherwise it is just a suit. I thought there was more to it than that, but there is not.

Also, how fun that the groomsmen will match the bridesmaids! I wish I could tell them about the light green they will be wearing, but that pleasure can be all for Bill. Maybe they won't mind.
So now everyone has clothing to wear. No nudists please.

Lastly, if the plural of potato is potatoes and the plural of tomato is tomatoes, why isn't the plural of tuxedo tuxedoes?
